Image Use Policy

The Greenwich Historical Society does not own the copyright to
many items in its collections. In some instances, copyright has
lapsed or the copyright owner may be uncertain or difficult to
determine. It is your responsibility to determine if your intended
use violates copyright, to determine the owner of the copyright
and/or to obtain any necessary permissions from the copyright
owner. You, the user, are legally liable for complying with the
provisions of copyright law. For additional information on
copyright, visit www.copyright.gov

You may download low-resolution, watermarked images available on
this site for personal use only. Permission from the Greenwich
Historical Society is not required for personal use, such as
academic study, research or displaying prints made from these
low-resolution/watermarked images in your home.

High-resolution images without a watermark may be available. An
image fee is charged on a per image basis. Publication/exhibition
fees may also apply, depending on your intended use of the image.

You must obtain permission from the Greenwich Historical Society
for any public use of an image. This includes exhibition/display
of an image in a public space and/or publication of an image.
Please contact the archivist to discuss the details of your
project and for an Application for Permission to Publish. There is
a publication/exhibition fee associated with any public use of an
image. This fee is charged on a per image basis and is in addition
to any applicable image fees. Granting of permission to publish
does not absolve the end user from copyright liabilities.

The Greenwich Historical Society must be credited as the image
source in any public use of an image, including exhibition or
publication. The minimum required credit is: Courtesy of the
Greenwich Historical Society.

Permission for the public use of an image is granted for a single,
specific use of the image as defined in the Application for
Permission to Publish. Any reuse of an image requires a new
request and payment of new image/publication fees.

The Greenwich Historical Society reserves the right to deny
permission for the public use of any image in its collections and
to impose such conditions as it may deem advisable in the best
interest of the Historical Society.

Image Fees

Please Note: Image fees cover only the cost to obtain the images;
publication/exhibition fees may also apply. Like
publication/exhibition fees, image fees are charged per image.
Payment of an image fee does not give the user permission to
reproduce or distribute the image.

Image files are at least 300 dpi for an 8x10 inch image. Images
are provided as high-quality JPEGs if delivered electronically
(e-mail, Dropbox, etc.). There is a surcharge for delivery of
images on a CD/DVD. Please specify preferred format and delivery
method in request.

Publication Fees

If the owner of copyright is not the Greenwich Historical
Society, the researcher understands the copyright holder may
assess additional fees.

The publication fee is for one-time use only. Exceptions may be
discussed with the Archivist.

Fees are per item. In certain circumstances, large requests may
be discounted 10%.
